‘Chopped’ seeking nonprofessionals, teens, etc. for future shows

Food Network’s “Chopped” series, which usually pits professional chefs against one another for three rounds of mystery-basket competitions, is now casting for a variety of “Chopped” specials. Among those being sought are nonprofessional cooks, teens, moms, grandparents, military cooks, firefighters and more. See the casting website for more.

Who among your family and friends would be a good “Chopped” competitor, and why? (No full names, please.)

Wait a minute. Military cooks are “nonprofessional?” Really? I would reassess your description of “nonprofessional” Feeding 800-1,000 hungry soldiers in a war zone, I think, would only be done by professional cooks.
